Chapter 170 Peace Discussion (Part 1)

"Emperor, the Tartar envoy has arrived in Lin'an. What should I do? Please ask the emperor to tell me." Li Tingzhi asked Li Jun for instructions, and his words were quite excited. For more than 40 years, the Mongolians have been relying on their military advantages and have won many battles. On the other hand, although the Song army resisted stubbornly, they were defeated again and again for many reasons, and were out of control, so that the Mongolian army once came to the city of Lin'an.

Due to its absolute military advantage, the Mongols have always been arrogant and have never taken the initiative to send envoys to Lin'an. In history, only the territory of the Southern Song envoy, the Mongols, was humiliated and compromised. Even famous officials like Wen Tianxiang were inevitably humiliated. Today, history has finally come back, and the Mongol envoy Tumuhuan came to Lin'an. No matter what the purpose of his coming or the result of the negotiation, this is a very important event in itself. The joy in Li Tingzhi's heart is really beyond the description of the pen and ink.

According to Li Tingzhi, Li Jun, a wise wise ruler who puts state affairs first, must be dealt with immediately and show him the truth, but his

It was expected to reject Wuqing's facts. Li Jun did not answer his words immediately, but looked at a big tree in the garden and said to Queen Quan: "Yan'er, look, there is a bird's nest here. Well, there must be bird eggs inside. Take out a bowl of egg soup and it should taste good."

Queen Quan said sweetly: "Your Majesty, look at you, you look like a child. Master Li is still waiting for your answer. You should deal with state affairs first." Her empress, who originally only knew how to play with the king, now knows that state affairs are the priority. She has persuaded Li Jun. The change is really great, so big that it is hard to believe.

Li Tingzhi heard about her relationship and praised her secretly. Unexpectedly, not only did the emperor change, but his queen also changed. The changes in the world are unpredictable.

Li Jun made a chest expansion movement, looking comfortable and said, "It's rare to have half a day of leisure in life. I finally found some free time to get some breath, but I didn't expect it to be disturbed again."

"This is all the incompetence of the ministers and cannot share the worries of the emperor." Li Tingzhi also knew that Li Jun had immediately been preparing for the Northern Expedition since he returned to Lin'an. Even on New Year's Eve, he had never been idle. He was said to have been busy until he fell asleep on the imperial desk in the early morning. There was very little time to breathe like today. He felt guilty and would have come to report another day if he knew it.

Li Jun comforted and said, "Xiangfu, this is not your fault. Oh, Yan'er, what did you say? Is this a state affairs?"

If this is not a state affairs, what else can be called a state affairs? Queen Quan was so surprised that her eyes almost fell to the ground. Her eyes were wide open and she looked at Li Jun straight. After a while, she said: "Master, this is not a state affairs, so what is a state affairs?"

Her words were approved by Li Tingzhi and were highly praised in her heart.

"This is not a state affairs. This is a game, it's a joke, and it's not true." Li Junyu said with a clever look on his face and said, "Xiangfu, I'll give you a task, and you can block Tumuhuan's mouth."

Li Tingzhi said without thinking: "Emperor, please forgive me for not obeying the order. Although the court and the Tartars were in a state of war, the two countries had not yet been killed. Please think twice."

Li Jun laughed and said, "Xiangfu, you are so gentleman. I just want to block his mouth and didn't say I want to kill him. Come here, I'll give you an idea. Bao Zhun Tumuhuan will close his mouth and can't say anything."

Li Jun looked serious. Li Tingzhi had to turn his ears over when Li Jun waved. Li Jun muttered a few words in his ear. Li Tingzhi looked stunned and said, "Your Majesty, can this be done? It's too ridiculous." He used a few words of these words, fully expressing his shock.

"What's wrong with this?" Li Jun asked back: "For more than 40 years, how many envoys of the court have been humiliated by the Tartars. Think about it, Lushan went to the Tartar camp to discuss peace, how did the Tartars treat Lushan? They used swords and weapons to use this to threaten Lushan. This is a slight insult to our dynasty. Now that the opportunity has come, the court cannot show weakness. We must punish them well. You don't have to worry anymore. We don't need to use swords or guns. It's better than the Tartars' Wuman."

Although Li Tingzhi is a fickle politician who is proficient in practice, he is still difficult to accept Li Jun's method. After hesitating for a while, he said: "I obey the order. Emperor, I will retreat." He retreated.

"Emperor, what's your idea?" Empress Quan was very curious, blinking her beautiful phoenix eyes and looking at Li Jun, saying, "The emperor has always been a clever idea, and the Tartars must have something to bear. Master, can you tell me what's the idea?"

Li Jun smiled and said, "It's just a small game, it's not a good idea. If you want to know, I'll tell you." In Queen Quan's ear, Queen Quan covered her chest with her jade hand and laughed so hard that she was angry, saying, "Master, do you want this kind of child's idea? Well, Tumuhuan is guilty of this Tartar."

"The food from the Southern Dynasties is really unspeakable, and it is so beautiful." Tumuhuan said to Tamu's ears and put down his chopsticks, which was very satisfied. China is known as a country of etiquette and righteousness. It is true that it did not treat Mongolian envoys unfairly. As soon as they arrived, they lived in the inn and had no shortage of food and drink. Although it was not the best delicacy, at least the basic etiquette for entertaining diplomatic envoys must be guaranteed.

Tamuyuan is tall and a standard soldier. It is even more rare that he is one of the most trusted guards of Kublai Khan. He has a secret mission with Tomuhuan. Therefore, even though Tomuhuan is an envoy, he dare not neglect him. If you have any questions, discuss with him. If you have food, you will naturally share with him.

Tamuyi stumbled his mouth and nodded in agreement, "Sir, I have heard of the prosperity of the Southern Dynasty for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be prosperous. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that the prosperity of the Southern Dynasty was so great. Most of us were already one of the most prosperous cities in our dynasty. Lin'an was a bit better than most of us." Yan Lai sighed very much and said, "This may be the real reason why our dynasty wanted to destroy the Southern Dynasty."

"It was, but it's not now." Tumuhuan rejected Tamuyi's view and said: "In the past, my Mongolian was mainly nomadic, and it was unstable to move on the grassland, hunting everywhere, and life was extremely difficult. Naturally, I wanted to find a warehouse to take it. Since the emperor ascended the throne, this conquest with the purpose of looting has ended."

Tamuyi was a little difficult to understand and asked, "Sir, why is this?"

"You are with the emperor day and night, and you should know that the emperor is a great ruler. He is committed to unifying China and advocated the implementation of the Han territory with the Han law, and achieved today's achievements." Tumuhuan explained to him: "Conquering the Southern Dynasty and incorporating the territory of Jiangnan and Lingnan into the territory is the emperor's ambition, not out of looting, because only in this way can the emperor realize his ambition: unifying China and achieving the cause of the emperor."

Tumuhuan followed Kublai Khan for a long time, and under the influence of Kublai Khan, he read more books of Han, and learned a lot about Han culture. He had a long history of understanding of the holy heart, so he had such words. It was precisely because he understood Kublai Khan's thoughts that Kublai Khan sent him as an envoy to come to An to discuss peace.

He was right. In the Genghis Khan's era, the Mongols lived a difficult life. One of the reasons why they fought endlessly was that in order to live a better life, they burned the war to those rich countries and wealthy areas. It was precisely for this purpose that Genghis Khan's army went to many cities and raped and plundered everything. Wherever they passed, they must be a ruin, so that Genghis Khan became a demon in the eyes of other nations. However, the Mongols successfully plundered a lot of wealth and property because of their conquest. Genghis Khan became a hero of the Mongolian nation.

By the time of Kublai Khan, this conquest activity that was mainly looted had been greatly reduced. From the war in Kublai Khan's conquest of Dali, he adopted Yao Shu's suggestion and did not implement looting, but instead restrained the army and rarely violated the people of Dali. The reason for this result was that Kublai Khan had lofty ambitions and wanted to unify China and establish a national regime. In order to win the support of the Han people and to obtain the "Daotong", he implemented the policy of "ruling the Han area with the Han Dynasty".

"My lord means that I, Dayuan, want to occupy the territory of the Southern Dynasties forever and ask their people to serve us." Tamuer understood a little.

Tumuhuan nodded and corrected: "It's not for our dynasty, but for our dynasty."

"What is the difference between serving and being a subject? Aren't they all in my court in Dayuan?" Tamuer was a little confused.

Tumuhuan knew that it would be difficult for people like him who had no understanding of politics to understand the difference. He changed the topic and said: "Lin'an is more prosperous than Dadu, but it's a pity that this great country has ruined the incompetent little court. It won't take long, and this will be the world of our dynasty."

Tamuyi agreed with this: "The emperor is not a person who admits defeat. Although the court has suffered a small defeat, for our dynasty, the loss can still be afforded. The emperor will fight back. At that time, it will be clear how proud Zhao Qi is."

Kublai Khan is strong-willed and is not a person who gives up easily. The more difficult it is, the more arouses his fighting spirit. He is already deploying the upcoming decisive battle. Tamuyi's confidence in Kublai Khan will not be shaken by the current disadvantages, so he has such words.

"When will the singing and dancing in the West Lake be done outside the mountain? The warm wind makes tourists drunk, and they make Hangzhou Bianzhou." Tumuhuan shook his head and chanted: "This poem says that the small court only knows how to seek joy and have fun, but does not know how to recover his hometown."

Just as he explained to Tamuer, a guard came in and said, "Sir, the envoy of the Southern Dynasties is here to visit."

"Ask." As he thought, when he came to Lin'an, Li Jun would quickly summon him and send someone to negotiate with him. He understood the position of the real gold in Kublai Khan's heart. The sooner he saved the real gold, the better. He couldn't help but be happy when he heard this. Tumuhuan tidied up his clothes and walked out of the room to welcome the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Yang Siwei strode forward, and behind him was a large group of soldiers, with as many as two or three. These soldiers were tall and nimble, so they knew that they must be elite soldiers.

There were already many soldiers at the post station, and it was unusual for Mongolian envoys to come to the Central Plains. Now they are preparing for a decisive battle against the Mongols. The people's opposition to the Mongols is high. If the matter spreads, maybe some people will come in anger and attack the posthouse, which will cause trouble. Li Tingzhi specially asked Liao Shenggong to dispatch an army of more than hundreds of people to come to the posthouse to strengthen prevention.

It is really hard to understand that so many soldiers were added to a small inn. Tumuhuan held his fists and said, "Tumuhuan, the envoy of the Great Yuan Dynasty, came to pay homage to the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty on his order! The envoy came, I wonder what he had to do with him?"

Yang Siwei returned the favor and spoke polite words, saying, "After the emperor's order, Yang Siwei came to visit the noble envoy. The noble envoy came to our court and had many negligence. Please forgive me."

"Tu Muhuan is grateful for your country's kind hospitality." Tu Muhuan changed his tone and asked, "Sir, I don't know what the purpose is to bring so many soldiers to come. Please inform me."

"Helping warmly, you will know what 'comfortable hospitality' is. At that time, you will not have time to regret it. The emperor has a wonderful idea, and only a wise king like the emperor will think of it." Yang Siwei was secretly happy in his heart, with a solemn expression on his face, and said, "The envoy should know that our two countries are in a state of war now. Thanks to your country, there are many victims in our dynasty. The emperor is worried that the people will not allow the envoys to be sent to Lin'an, so he specially ordered his subordinates to lead more troops to protect the envoys."

Of course, Tumuhuan knew that his words were tactful, and the threat in his words were revealed, that is, you should be careful. There are many people outside waiting to collect your body. This is not all a threatening word. Now the Southern Song Dynasty is actively preparing for a decisive battle, inspiring the people's hearts and arousing their sense of hostility. It can be asserted that if someone appears on the street wearing Mongolian clothes, when people find them, they will have to beat the people who hate Mongolians into meat paste. He thought that Li Jun was so concerned about his safety, and he was grateful and said, "Thank you Your Majesty! Thank you! Tumuhuan should report your country's affection to the emperor."

"When you suffer a loss, are you still afraid that you will not report to Kublai Khan? It is very likely that you are a mute person who eats coptis chinensis and cannot express your suffering." Yang Siwei thought in his heart and said, "The court has checked the horses and gold that your country has tributed. If you have such sincerity, the court naturally wants to pay tribute to you and strictly protect you."

Tumuhuan immediately retorted, saying, "This is a bad word for me. This is not a tribute, but a gift from my dynasty to your country. I am vast and rich in the Yuan Dynasty and have strong military troops. Your country will not forget it, right? Your country has lost how much cloth, gold and silver to our dynasty, right?" As he said, in the past forty years, the Southern Song Dynasty has discussed peace many times, and I don't know how much cloth, gold and silver they have lost. Thinking of these glorious past events, I am very arrogant.

The word tribute has a derogatory meaning and has a strong relationship between the monarch and the ministers. The Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia are two equal political entities. There is no problem of tribute or not. Therefore, Tumuhuan refuted it.

Yang Siwei sneered and said, "The envoy is really forgetting. The 500,000 Tartars army was destroyed at the city of Lin'an. Where is the Prime Minister Boyan? Guo Kan's entire army was wiped out in Jiangnan. Has Guo Zhonghe recovered? Is it so strong that the troops are strong?"

The two wars he mentioned were Li Jun's most proud war moves after coming to this world. Boyan and Guo Kan, the two Kublai Kan, trusted by the most, died and injured. Since Guo Kan was poisoned in Guanzhong, he has been unrecognizable and has been unconscious, and his life and death are still unknown.

Even if Timuhuan has a copper-toothed iron teeth, he could not refute the fact that this iron was so strong that he opened his mouth wide and didn't know what to say.

Yang Siwei said proudly: "If the Tartars are strong, why did you come to Lin'an? Why did you bring so many gifts?" Tumuhuan immediately argued: "I came for the safety of the prince..." Yang Siwei interrupted him and asked: "Zhen Jin is the prince of the Tartars, how could it fall into my hands? Has there ever been a precedent for the prince to fall into your hands?" He smiled coldly and said: "This is the beginning. In the future, your tribute will continue to come. Come, protect the envoys who come to pay homage to the emperor."

The word "Daise" has a relationship with the monarch and his subjects, and Tumuhuan also wants to argue. A few soldiers who are like wolves and tigers come to raise him and leave.

Tumuhuan naturally did not want to be humiliated and struggled. He was no match for the soldiers, and was dragged into the house like a dead dog. He looked at Tamuyi with his eyes squinted at him. He thought that this guard who Kublai Khan trusted would come to save him, but he didn't know that he was very disappointed at first glance. To be precise, he should be very surprised, because Tamuyi and the Mongolians he brought over the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty, searched all the weapons on his body, and then cut his hands and took them to another room.

A feeling of helplessness hit my heart, and Tumuhuan shouted: "You are lawless. You must know that the two countries will fight for war and not kill the envoys. Doing this will insult the reputation of the country of Chinese etiquette."

"'When King Wen talks about etiquette, and when Jie and Zhou fight, don't you know?" Yang Siwei said coldly: "You rude barbarians, you don't have to be polite, that's what you want." With a big move, the soldiers threw Tumuhuan into the house like a dead dog, and closed the door with a slam.

"Nail on." Under Yang Siwei's command, the soldiers nailed the room with thick wooden boards and surrounded it tightly, leaving only a small window. This room originally used for Tumuhuan to stay and accommodation instantly became a real prison, and Tumuhuan was tantamount to a prisoner to be sentenced.

"Look at it! No one is allowed to approach." Yang Siwei yelled at the soldiers, and then left. Tumuhuan's roar was heard behind him: "You are so arrogant, but you are the real barbarians! The two countries are fighting, and they will not beheaded! Do you understand?"

Yang Siwei heard it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself: "I only say that the two countries are fighting for war but not killing them, but I don't say that the two countries are fighting for war but not shameful. I am really a barbarian, I can't even imagine this."

Tumuhuan broadcast his truth about "Two countries will fight for military service but not kill them" over and over again. Until he was yelling, he remembered to drink water and looked for water in the house. He only found that he had searched the Song soldiers and didn't even have urine, let alone water. If he wanted to drink urine, he had to sprinkle himself.

"Do you want to drink water?" A voice came from the small window and said, "There is here."

Thirsty Thumhuan seemed to hear the gospel. He looked at it carefully and saw a bowl on the window. He walked over and took a look. He held a bowl of water in the bowl and drank it. After drinking a few sips, he felt something was wrong. He threw the bowl to the ground and cursed: "What kind of water is this? It's so bitter?"
